Chapter 212

Evadne had taken care of Marilla’s issues and returned to the mansion with Jason.

On the way back, she couldn’t help but replay the scene where Thaddeus had wiped her hair. Her heart clenched and her mouth became dry.

Tm sorry, this is my first time doing this I don’t have much experience”

Bullshi

He had been entangled with Acacia for years, even if they hadn’t gone all the way, he must have done all sorts of things. Pretending to be naive and innocent in front of her

Returning home, Evadne kicked off her heels. Instead of rushing to rest, she sat on the couch with a gloomy face

Jason brought her a warm cup of milk, full of concern. “Miss Evadne, it’s late. You should go to bed once you’ve had a drink.”

How did Marilla and Jareth cross paths tonight? Marilla has always been closely watched by the Abernathy family. What’s going on?” Evadne found it hard to sleep, worried about the unfortunate girl

1 asked Jareth. He didn’t know why Marilla would appear at his club. He said that she was nervously looking for something and might have been in danger if he hadn’t run into her.” Evadne frowned, “Looking for something? What?”

“A teddy bear you gave her.”

Evadne’s breath hitched, her fingers clenched The teddy bear I gave Marilla was thrown in Sapphire Nights Club?”

1 asked him if there was anything unusual at the club. He said no. But he mentioned his sister, Edith “Jason used his lawyer skills to get the information he needed.

“see”

Evadnes eyes narrowed. She hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, but she could piece together what had happened “Glynnis, you really can’t change your ways, can you? Those who dare to bully Maria. I make sure they pay!”

Jareth, chased home by Thaddeus, arrived home in the early morning

He lay in bed, eyes closed. His mind was filled with images of k*ssing Marilla in a hazy light

Helps were sweet and soft, and utterly intoxicating.

Suddenly, he felt a rush of heat in his lower abdomen, and he got an erection!

Damn it! I’m a beast!”

Jareth cursed, closed his eyes to sleep, but the discomfort below forced him to get up and take a 20-minute cold shower before he could finally relax

As the sky began to lighten, he finally fell asleep.

He didn’t wake up until the next afternoon

Dressed and ready. Jareth had just left his room when Edith, with a resentful face, confronted h

“Jareth, you’ve gone too far!”

“Too far? Just because I told you not to hang out at Sapphire Nights Club and not to hang out with Glynnis

Jareth raised his hand to touch Edith’s head, sighed. “Edth, why are you so nave? Can’t you tell right from wrong?”

Don’t touch me with the hand that has touched Marilla, it’s filthy!”

Edth slapped his hand away, unable to contain her resentment towards Marilla

“Edith, what did you say?” Jareth’s pupés constricted, staring at his sister in disbelief

Edth, humiliated by being taken away in public, vented her anger at her brother, Thate Marilla! You are mine and mine alone. Who does she think she is trying to take you away from me?” “Edith, what are you talking about?” Janeth’s eyebrows knitted together.

“You turned the whole Sapphire Nights Club upside down just to replace a broken toy for her! A broken toy!”

Edith’s emotions spiraled out of control as she stomped her feet. The passing servants looked on, but no one dared to look twice.

Tm your sister! When have you ever been so concerned about me? You just throw money at me! But now you’re going above and beyond for that idiot, Jareth, have you lost your mind?! | studied abroad for a few years, and when I come back, Im lower than an idiot!”

“Edth, Maria is not an idiot. I wont let you talk about her like that,” Jareth snapped back, replaceing the word “idiot” too harsh and too piercing

He had always seen Edith as a kind-hearted angel, even if she was a bit spoiled. But her eyes were now filled with hatred, as if she had a deep grudge against Marilla.

“Bro, you shouted at me for that idiot “Edith’s face turned from red to white. She was terrified by his cold gaze, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat

“Maria is not an idiot. I don’t want to hear that word from you again. If you do, I will really get angry, Edith.”

Jareth took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed. “When we were young and you were too young to remember, our father died in an accident, and our mother was too busy with family affairs to take care of us I’ve been protecting you ever since. I fed you, let you ride on my back, even changed your diapers. You say I don’t care about you, that I’m not good to you. The truth is, in twenty years, nothing has hurt me more than this”

“Brother”Edth was dumbfounded, her voice trembling with emotion.

1 still care about you, but we have grown up. The way I care about you has changed, and you just haven’t noticed”

Jareth’s gaze suddenly darkuined, “You dont understand me, and I don’t blame you for that. But what I don’t understand is why you harbor such hostility towards Marila w

done to offend you?”

1 just don’t like her. She doesn’t deserve to be with you!” Edith couldn’t handle his questioning and found a random reason to brush him off

Jareth’s jawline tensed, his eyes stern and somber, “Edith, you have no right to look down on Marilla. In terms of status, she is a rising star in the Abernathy Group. Her status than you or me Even if she comes from a poor background and has nothing, so what? The woman i have set my sights on, who can stop me if I want her?”

With that, he turned and strode away, leaving Edith standing in place, clenching her teeth in humiliation

A whole week had passed since Ada Ang broke her contract with the K Orld Hotel

Throughout this week, Jason had been closely monitoring the members of the planning team, but to no avail

Humming a fune Evadne executed the last survivor in her game, the bloody scene forcing Jason to shut his eyes, “Gather the project team members, we’re having a meeting in the conference room”

Half an hour later, the eight hotel employees previously in charge of Ada’s wedding planning arrived in the conference room on time.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Evadne finally watred in, looking cheerful

Despite the contract termination, it seemed her mood hadn’t been affected at all

“Sorry for the delay everyone, I was tied up with some important matters”

Evadne sat at the head of the conference table, surveying the eight people before her with a confident smile, Tve come up with a new wedding plan and intend to approach Ada again want her to reconsider working with us!

The team gasped in surprise, their excitement palpable, Really? That’s great!”

Evadne nodded, her sharp gaze scanning the faces of the team members. At this moment, she noticed a staff member named Kevin whose expression changed slightly.

As luck would have it, Kevin raised his hand to ask a question.

“President Ashbourne hasn’t Ada already chosen the Abernathy Group? Given the circumstances, can we really win her back?”

Evadnes fingers tapped on the table, her eyes slightly narrowed, she asked with a faint smile, ‘Oh? Ada has already teamed up with the Abernathy Group? How come you know about such big news, but I don’t?”
